Basic characteristic features of practical activity of the students with a strong active nervous system is the ability to improvise and to maximize the mobilization of their acquired abilities and skills, as well as to provide creative operational decisions for the set of educational tasks. An analysis of both groups practical activities has showed that adaptation to the conditions of the practice base requires students to mobilize their  adaptation opportunities. The process of adaptation potential inforcement among future teachers of physical culture, while taking into account different types of nervous system (especially the levels of excitation and inhibition processes, as well as the level of the nervous processes mobility) has some individual peculiarities in the professional activity. Conclusions. In the framework of pedagogical it was identified the factors of influence on professional adaptation among students with different typological peculiarities of the nervous system. It depends on the nature of the factors themselves, as well as on the professional and psychological features, young peoples’ physical preparation for independent work and on their attitude to work.
